Who is filling your cup?
Our thoughts are what we feed them. Who are we allowing to speak truth to us? To speak life? How can we hear God’s truth if it is clouded by the noise of this world’s distraction? If we quiet our minds and hear God’s truth over our lives, very rarely would we question “am I…
